00:00 Thailand's constitutional court suspended reformist Peter Limjarawanrat on Wednesday

00:06 in another blow to his hopes of becoming the nation's next leader after a stunning election

00:10 win. His efforts to form a government have stumbled since the May poll. He's widely popular

00:16 with young Thais, frustrated after almost ten years of military-backed rule. But he's

00:21 fiercely opposed by Thailand's conservative establishment. The court could disqualify

00:26 Peter from parliament altogether for owning shares in a media company, forcing his suspension.
